UAE transport authorities are issuing more mandatory re-inspection orders for commercial vehicles following roadside checks. While aimed at improving safety, this trend has led to increased vehicle downtime for many transport companies.
What Triggers Re-Inspection Orders?
Vehicles may be ordered for re-inspection due to:
- Minor technical faults
- Worn tyres or brake concerns
- Lighting or indicator issues
- Incomplete maintenance records
Even small defects can now require official clearance before the vehicle returns to operation.
Why This Is a Growing Challenge
Transport companies are dealing with:
- Unexpected service interruptions
- Missed delivery schedules
- Reduced fleet availability
- Increased maintenance costs
Vehicles awaiting re-inspection cannot be deployed, affecting operational capacity.
Business Impact
- Delays in project-based transport
- Difficulty meeting tight delivery timelines
- Need for backup vehicles
- Higher pressure on fleet management teams
Companies with smaller fleets are especially affected.
